This morning, I woke up early and my spirit felt so happy with a block of free time!  I love when I have that sense of open space before me.  Outside, the leaves are beautiful golds, greens and oranges with some deep, rich reds thrown in as vivid contrast.  I happily breathe in the colours of Autumn.  Leaves falling everywhere. I love the floating, fluttering movements of the leaves as they drop, spin and twirl.  Autumn dance!

This morning, I read Neale Donald Walsch’s words about choosing the higher good.

“...You always know what the higher good is. There is never any doubt about that in
your heart. So today, look at things through your heart, not through your mind (which always wants to protect you).”
 
What is the highest good right now for you and for me?  For me, it has something to do with not being complacent.  To keep my attention on how best to serve and then taking the necessary inspired steps to do it.  It would be so easy to just sit back and let life roll on by.   So easy to symbolically lay back, idling the time away.  There are things that are dear to my heart that relate to humanity and our planet.  It requires my sitting up and being attentive to what is calling me forward.

Awakening others to be Source.  Contributing to the creation of an enlightened planetary civilization®.  Operating in the world with kindness and with integrity.  Practising virtues as a way of being in the world.  Living responsibly. Inspiring others to be Avatars and to experience themselves as Creators of it all.  Inspiring others to live deliberately and to create consciously with wisdom, love and compassion.  Doing exactly what I have learned since I first did the Avatar® course six years ago.

I feel inspired this morning to share my success story with Avatar.

My getting back in touch with feelings was one of the first doors to open up for me on the nine day course.  All of the feelings that had been repressed, stuffed and held back began coming up to the surface to be healed.  Coming to the surface to be transformed. All of my feelings of anger, frustration, judgment, sadness, powerlessness, failure, being critical and separate.  Much, that for so long had kept me safely in my head and out of my heart.  The Avatar tools allowed me to experience my feelings fully with grace, compassion and without judgment. 

Always with my willingness, there is always forward movement.  Results that are noticeable and fast.  Movement that does not take months and years.  With willingness, things do get resolved.  Things that as a therapist, I used to see clients struggle with for months and years and often-times still not get to resolution.  As an Avatar Master, I see these changes occur in days, hours and sometimes minutes! 

I remember working with a student who came over from Jamaica to do the course.  He was working with me on deep-seated trauma and indoctrination that he had not been able to shake.  I remember at one point, he looked up at me with complete surprise, because the issue had simply disappeared off the radar!  He couldn’t even recollect what we had been working on!  The open space and freedom was huge for him.  So were the gains that he made in moving out of his head and dropping down into feel.

The tools have a wonderful way of surprising me.  Many times, I feel totally surprised when the amazing results come.  I didn’t see it coming!  I love that my sometimes intellectual and busy mind can’t outsmart or out-figure the tools!  They have a beautiful way of bypassing the tricky ego and delivering big time.  Hallelujah! 

I have learned to let go of my need to look outside for answers.  Such an indoctrinated way that I was brought up to look to others and outside sources for wisdom.  Avatar continually re-directs you back to yourself as the Creator of it all.  Reminds you over and over that you are a Source being and you get to decide. 

Avatar reminds me to not look behind me when I want to create.  Not to keep looking behind at past results and how things went before.  In the present time, I can choose a deliberate belief that I want to experience and keep my attention and energy leaning forward.  Over the years, it has become habit to put my attention on what I want, the solution.  Putting my attention on the solution and not on the problem, allows my preferred reality to take shape and grow.  The creation exercises on the course offer a powerful way to create the realities you prefer.  Much better than being at the effect of everything and anything that happens to be going on out there.  This has allowed me to experience life in a more stable and calm manner.  Events are whirling all around that are not of my choosing and I can still maintain a sense of peace and neutrality. 

Over the past six years since I did the course, I have learned how to manage my beliefs.  Harry Palmer, the author of the Avatar materials, says that “Beliefs are the colored lenses that filter out from all-that-is what we wish to experience.”  Why not choose for myself intentional beliefs that will bring a preferred reality?  I chose the primary, “I live in my heart with you,” and my whole world opened up right before my eyes.  Nothing separating me from experiencing the love and joy of pure connection.  On section two of the Avatar Course, I learned a way of being with creation with nothing in the way.  Can you imagine being with your loved ones without judgment, labels, or any negative stuff?  I remember the feeling that I had.  It was as if I was seeing my children for the first time!

Labels and judgments create barriers between people.  No chance to experience them purely and fully as they really are.  Instead, you experience the negative opinion that you have slapped on them.  What if you could live with others in this world without the barriers?  You can and you get to experience that for yourself on the course.
To experience reality purely and simply without distortion.

Nine days.  May seem like a long time, but in reality, it is nothing when you feel the value of giving yourself back to yourself.  The gift of you as Source that keeps expanding out in the world touching others’ lives.

From Harry Palmer, “As Avatars, we remember who we are and who we are not.  We remember we are not things.  We remember we are not any of the ideas of nationalism or race that humans fight over.  We are neither expressions nor identities.  We are the source of these things, and we can create better.”

The world needs us to operate as Source beings.  I started off by saying how I love the feeling of open space before me.  When you create from Source, there is nothing in the way.  Wide open space.  The secondaries, doubts, fears all get handled.  You create from a space of total certainty and conviction. 

Eric Butterworth says, that “Within me is the unborn possibility of limitless living, and mine is the privilege of giving birth to it.”

What is the highest good right now for you and for me?  For me, it is again to not be complacent.  To not accept the status quo as a given.  To give birth to and to know limitless living... freedom.

From the dvd, “Make The Best of What Happens Next,” Harry Palmer says that “our destinies are linked by very long chains.  We don’t have to work alone... After we do our job of awakening, there’ll be another able generation to complete the next stage of creating an enlightened planetary civilization.  Our task is to lay the foundation and get the show started... It takes a sangha to create an enlightened planetary civilization... The purpose of existence is not to spend our minutes resting.  The purpose is to evolve qualities that will advance the race spiritually.  Qualities like kindness, service to others, efforts that ease suffering, help, love, reassurance, instruction.”

The next International Avatar course begins in a few weeks and I invite you to join me and our Avatar sangha. It begins on November 1st and spans nine days of sheer magic.  Our upcoming elections in the US fall right in the middle.  Cast your vote early, so that you can still show up.   Are you ready to live in your heart?  Avatar is the best gift you could give to yourself, your loved ones and the planet.  If you can block out nine days from your life, I’ll see you there!

"The mission of Avatar in the world is to catalyze the integration of belief systems.  When we perceive that the only difference between us is our beliefs and that beliefs can be created or discreated with ease, the right and wrong game will wind down, a co-create game will unfold, and world peace will ensue."

Sweet love to you,

Nicola

Science  can demonstrate that certain physical characteristics are genetically  encoded in an individual's DNA. One person's blue eyes and another's  brown eyes can be traced to certain genetic configurations. Skin,  scales, feathers, and hair, as well as thousands of other physical  traits, can be explained in terms of inherited genetic material, but  what about instincts, social behaviors, and humanitarian motives? Where  do they come from?

 The Ash Is Falling
 by Harry Palmer

I  used to raise pigs and observed that they were naturally adept at building shelters. That's probably where the story of "The Three Little  Pigs" comes from. The first little pig built his house of straw, the  second little pig built his house of sticks, and the third little pig built his house of bricks. That last construction may have been creative license on the part of the storyteller, but pigs really do build shelters, and they are quite good at it.

I  had a 300-pound sow named Violet who could turn a soft piece of ground  and a brush pile into a pig shelter in an amazingly short time. She was  a regular beaver. She would drag branches together in a pile, dump  mouthfuls of sod on them, and then roll the pile flat. Then she would drag on a few more branches, more mouthfuls of sod, and then roll it  flat again. At first I thought she was building a foundation, which  really would have been a mark of higher intelligence.

 By the way, foundations are a human invention. If you are doing an  archeological excavation looking for traces of man, and you strike  something that looks like a foundation, you hit pay dirt. Foundations  are a crossover from instinctive shelter building to intelligent  shelter building. (This also applies to building your life.)

 Anyhow, the pig wasn't building a foundation; she was building a  shelter from the top down. The matted pile of sticks and sod was her  roof. Once it satisfied her, she lifted the edge with her nose and  crawled under. Then she stood up and the roof bent to the curve of her  back. From the underside she pushed up a dirt wall with her snout. Finally when the dirt around her was a foot high, she knelt down in the  hole she had excavated and let the dome roof rest on the dirt. I  wondered if this was a natural archetype for cathedrals and capitol  buildings. It is humbling to think that the US Capitol building may  have been modeled after a pig shelter.

 There was  no exit. At first, I thought this was a mistake, but on second thought,  if you are giving birth to a dozen lively baby pigs (which she did a  few hours later) you could appreciate her design.

 In a matter of one afternoon, Violet had built a one-pig dome with  matted waterproof roof that would protect her new family from late  spring snows. Some pig!  What intrigued me was that Violet came from a commercial pig farm; she  had been born and raised on a concrete floor. How did she know about  building shelters?

 Baby pigs are vulnerable to cold, and without knowledge of shelters the  species could not survive. So how is this shelter-building instinct  passed from generation to generation? I'm sure that the width of her  snout and the color of her eyes were determined by her inherited DNA,  but from where did she inherit her knowledge of shelters? Is shelter building an evolved behavior developed over many generations and  reinforced by natural selection?

 Watching Violet build her house left me wondering if there is some  cosmic consciousness memory bank that passes instincts from generation  to generation, species to species, some sort of between lives storage  area. Universal memory banks! The idea hints of magic or maybe the  unfolding of a divine cosmic design.

 Instincts might limit you to an outmoded behavior. (Probably why  intelligence was invented, duh!) Instincts are about as conservative as  you can get. If something worked for granddad, then it will work for  you. Maybe, but this fails to take into account that the challenges your granddad confronted are not your challenges.

 If the climate became warmer, would Violet still build a shelter for  her piglets? Would they suffocate in the heat? I personally think  Violet would outvote her instincts and intelligently figure something  out. But it does raise serious questions for species with lesser  intelligence. And what if the dirt becomes poisoned from pollution or  fallout? Decontamination is probably beyond a pig's intelligence.

 In the sixties, I dropped out and returned to the land. The plan was to  be self-sufficient: to grow my own food, build my own house, and  survive by my own efforts.

You  want to know something? It was the easiest thing I ever did. All the  problems of what to grow, when to plant, and how to build, were solved  hundreds of years ago. I had a house, plenty to eat, and was bored  almost to death. Instead of surviving, I felt like I was on a path to  extinction. Thriving does not necessarily mean evolving, and when you  get down to it, evolving seems to be the purpose of life; so maybe your  personal challenges are good things.

I  used to tell a story about a tropical rodent that evolved during the  age of the dinosaur. This little quadruped was unique because it was  covered with thin single-quill feathers that you and I would call hair.

 Hair in a tropical climate is not a good idea; it doesn't really solve  any environmental problems. In fact, it is a liability. So much so that  the poor creature had to burrow underground, and only come out at  night. On the plus side, it did avoid cold-blooded predators that  hunted in the heat of the day.

 But fashion-wise, it was all scales and thick hide. Hair was an oddity.  It's not hard to imagine the great rulers of the Jurassic swamps  looking at the hairy rodent burrowing in the ground and hear them laughing. Hair! Living underground! What a freak!

Then it started to snow!

 Of course, you know the rest of the story: Rodents survived the ice age, dinosaurs didn't.

Growing  hair was pre-adaptive evolution. It didn't come from instincts, or even  from intelligence; it was a mutation. Call it dumb luck if you want to,  but having hair and a burrowing ability prepared the ancestor of the  mouse family for the future. If there is some fund of collective  consciousness that dutifully records the experiences of life, and designs instincts for the next generation, this mouse started a new  chapter. Fur was a serendipitous mutation that illustrates that  sometimes you survive by being different and breaking with the past.

 The more self-designing that a creature becomes, the more it can adapt  to changes. If the dinosaur had greater intelligence and fewer  instincts, it might have survived the Ice Age wearing a mouse-skin  coat, but the dinosaur was not self-designing; it lacked the  intelligence and flexibility to manage change.

Today, tens of thousands of Avatar students are self-designing qualities that will pre-adapt them for the social change that is beginning: the crossover from mutually destructive societies to an enlightened  planetary civilization®. You could say that Avatars are growing hair. In  this case, hair is the ability to see others compassionately, the  ability to trust and act honestly, the ability to listen and share, and  the ability to predict and shape future realities.

 While a few skeptics are laughing, pointing fingers, and yelling, "Cult," ash is beginning to fall.

The Story of The Avatar Course

Why do Avatar Masters stress feeling above intellect?

Intellect is good for figuring some things out, but it only gives false answers when asked, "Who am I really?"

 A lot of people when they first approach Avatar are being thoughts. Their intellects have built them vehicles of solidified thoughts that are mistaken as self. This misconception of who they are has to be worked out before the aware spirit awakens, and this is not a problem  that the intellect can work out. Nothing born of the intellect can  experience aware spirit. The eye cannot see itself, but it may, by a  direct perception that circumvents the intellect, feel itself looking.

Extraordinary Moments
(From The 2008 Avatar Wizard Course)

 Wow! Where to begin? The past two weeks has been empowering and  grounding. From the deep integrity work to the powerful identity  discreating tools, this course delivers.

 I am truly amazed with the thoughtful approach and structure that  surrounds this course and the genuine service to others the network  provides. Wizards is a safe place to 'get real', and do some heavy  lifting in the areas of your life that keep you from realizing your  dreams; the life you envision.

 Harry's talks inspired me and are such a valuable piece to this process. I aspire to live with the integriy that Star's Edge has achieved.

  I feel so much more real, after this course. There are so many ways  that I haven't been honest with me, my community, my planet. I'm more  aware of who I am, my limitations, and my power. And I realize that I  am a wonderful creator who can handle my life and contribute to  bettering the world. I am excited for what is next.

 Thank You Harry, Avra, the Trainers, the QM's, the AI's, and everyone  else who is a part of this. I feel supported. I feel loved.  And I am  alive. Can anyone ask for more?

-C.J.

 The level of care and connection on this course has been so  supportive. I realize my work here has cleared the space that now allows this to be felt and experienced. I feel touched and known  deeply. I feel relief from an inner battle that began in my early teens  and has affected my relationships ever since. Something hidden has now  been removed and my heart breathes in openness and fullness and gratitude and strength.

 These words are so little for what this course has helped me to become in Being.

-D.C.

 Words can't express my appreciation, gratitude, and not so quiet  amazement at what has happened on this, my first Wizards Course.  Miracles have happened, in my own spiritual, psychological healing, in  my cleaning up, and opening to trust, love, and joy.

 I have always been a loving person, and inspired to serve others, but I  have made many unwise choices in yesteryear. It is amazing and  liberating to me that I now have such an array of wondrous tools with  which to transform/remove personal blocks to the flow of love on the  planet and beyond. Just as glorious is the discovery and bonding with my Avatar global tribe. A coming home.

 I will continue to deliver Avatar - what a privilege! My first internship was a month ago, and its grace propelled me to Wizards and  this unparalleled opportunity for growth.

 I have learned to trust.

 Thank you all, from the depths of my being, down the lifetimes. Bless you. See you at Wizards 2009.

-M.S.

 This is the biggest blessing I've ever had, joining the Wizard Course.  I realize how the universe moves and what my life's meaning is in the  universe. It feels like my eyes are open to how I have to live and how  I lived. Thanks to all my teachers of consciousness to lead me to the  Wizard Course.


-K.Y.K.


 This course has changed my life, to be frank and honest. Learning how  to become honest and act with deliberate intent to be virtuous has  shifted my whole being. I have always thought that I was being an  honest, good person, but little did I know how indoctrinated all of my  actions were. Thank You for that freedom.

 I can not wait to share this with others. I am so excited to be a part  of this team. There is more that I would like to share and I will, but  for now, I must go. I am committed to contributing to an enlightened  planetary civilization. Thank You for creating the platform, the space,  and the tools for all of this to be possible.

-J.C.

OUR MOMENT OF TRANSFORMATION
 by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

http://eraofpeace.org

 Changes are unfolding at warp speed, and it is critical that we all stay focused on the Light. Our thoughts, words, feelings and actions are powerful beyond our knowing. Remember, where our attention goes our energy flows. This is a profound Truth that we must now clearly comprehend.

 There is a Divine Plan unfolding within the presidential elections in the United States of America. These are the most important elections we have ever faced due to the incredible things that will occur during the next few years.

 The destructive behavior patterns that created the global economic and social mess we are experiencing at this time will no longer work. Anything we individually, or collectively as a country, attempt to do that is not based in reverence for Life and the highest good for all concerned is doomed to failure. We have begun our ascent up the Spiral of Evolution into the 5th Dimension. The obsolete behavior patterns of fear, greed and corruption, which created Humanity’s pain and suffering in the first place, cannot be sustained in the frequencies of the 5th Dimension.

 The 5th-Dimensional archetypes for the New Earth are now securely anchored in the physical plane, and NOTHING can stop their physical manifestation. The only variable is how long it will take for Humanity to begin to tangibly experience these patterns of perfection, which include the Infinite Abundance of God, Eternal Peace, Divine Love, Harmony, Balance, Joy, Happiness, Oneness and the Reverence for ALL Life.

 That variable is totally dependent on you and me and every other Lightworker on Earth. We are responsible for cocreating the New Earth. We will accomplish this transformation by using the creative faculties of our thoughts, words, actions and feelings. Every single moment, we are either adding to the Light of the world or to the shadows depending on what we are empowering with the focus of our attention. At this time, it is vital that we focus the power of our attention on the manifestation of Divine Government. A government OF Humanity’s I AM Presence, BY Humanity’s I AM Presence, FOR Humanity’s I AM Presence.

 On September 21, 2008, we gave one of our free seminars in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio is considered the heart of America, and Columbus is the capital of Ohio. This state has always been a critical factor in our presidential elections. We knew that this seminar was going to involve much more than was evident on the surface. It was time to greatly expand the new archetypes for Divine Government for the United States of America.

 We made arrangements to rent our meeting room at the Doubletree Suites Hotel in Columbus, without knowing just where this hotel was situated in the city. When we arrived at the hotel we were delighted to see that we were located in the middle of the government buildings. There is a well-known statue of Christopher Columbus that was given to the city as a gift from Columbus’s hometown of Genoa Italy. There is a powerful focus of the Violet Flame that was anchored within that statue many years ago. The statue stands in front of the Capitol Building, less than a block away from the hotel.

 The State Supreme Court Building is located across the street from the hotel, and other government buildings are in back of the hotel. At one end of the Supreme Court Building there is a reflecting pool that has the words REASON, HONOR, INTEGRITY, WISDOM, PEACE, PASSION, JUSTICE, COMPASSION, EQUALITY and TRUTH reflecting beneath the water. The energy in and around these buildings is electric and vibrant.

 There were several events that took place on September 21st, which helped to empower our mission of expanding the new archetypes for Divine Government. For one thing, it was the beginning of the Autumn Equinox, which is always a powerful, Light-filled day of balance and inner reflection.

 September 21st is also the day that is celebrated as the United Nations’ International Day of Peace. Thousands of gatherings and meditations dedicated to World Peace were conducted on that day by people around the world. In order to enhance that facet of the unfolding Divine Plan, Jonathan Goldman, a well-known sound healing pioneer, asked Humanity to participate in an activity of Light that would use the power of the spoken word to amplify the frequencies of Peace on the planet.

 Jonathan says that sound acts as a focusing mechanism for Humanity’s consciousness. This understanding is encapsulated through the formulas he created, which include FREQUENCY + INTENT = HEALING and its corollaries VOCALIZATION + VISUALIZATION = MANIFESTATION and SOUND + BELIEF = OUTCOME.

 Jonathan says that our intentions, visualizations, feelings and beliefs are all able to amplify the power and effect of sound. Conversely, sound, frequencies, tones, and vocalizations are all able to boost the power and enhance the effect of our meditations and prayers.

 He states that one of the most powerful sounds on the planet is “AH.” Many mystical traditions worldwide find the “AH” sound is the sound of the Heart Chakra. Jonathan asked people all over the world to participate in a Global Sound Healing on September 21st, by toning the “AH” sound for five minutes at 12:00 noon local time wherever they were on the planet. This Global Sound Healing created a wave of Light and sound around the globe that shifted the frequency of the Earth and lifted all Life into higher vibrations than we had previously experienced.

 The Lightworkers gathered at our seminar in Columbus, Ohio, participated in the Global Sound Healing at 12:00 noon. During the rest of the afternoon, we utilized the collective influx of Light that was bathing the planet that day to empower the new archetypes for Divine Government.

 As surrogates on behalf of all Humanity, we invoked the Light of God to pave the way for the Immaculate Concept of Divine Government in the United States of America and throughout the world. We asked that an intensified influx of Light be securely established within the presidential elections and the elections for the House of Representatives, which will take place in the USA on November 4, 2008.

 Now we are all being called to a Higher Service of Light. The Company of Heaven is asking Lightworkers everywhere to hold the sacred space for the fulfillment of the Divine Plan involving the presidential elections in the United States of America. This is true whether you live in this country or not. Cocreating Divine Government in America will dramatically affect the entire world. We are all ONE, and it is the responsibility of embodied Lightworkers everywhere to help fulfill this next facet of the Divine Plan.

 It is important that we ALL hold the vision for the right and perfect outcome in these elections. If we live in the USA, we must get involved and vote. We do not need to consciously know exactly what the Divine Plan is or who is going to be elected. We just need to have the Divine Intention that the highest good for all concerned will be the result of the presidential elections in the USA. Pay attention. Listen to your heart and respond accordingly. Vote for whomever resonates in your heart of hearts as the right candidate. Then affirm, “Thy Will, not mine be done.”

 Here are a few invocations that have been given to us by the Company of Heaven to assist in the process of establishing Divine Government on Earth:

 CALL FOR DIVINE GOVERNMENT
 I AM,  I AM,  I AM.

 I AM my I AM Presence, and I AM One with the I AM Presence of all Humanity.

 I invoke the great Beings of Light associated with Divine Government to this planet, and I invoke the Beloved Ascended Masters guarding the evolutions of Earth.

 Blessed Ones, blaze the Sacred Fires of God’s Perfect Will and Divine Illumination in, through and around every person involved with the governments of Earth at national, state and local levels. 

 Blaze the Sacred Fires of God’s Will and Divine Illumination in, through and around
 the electorate and governmental officials of all nations.

 Let them feel and tangibly experience the Power, Wisdom and Love Nature of our Father-Mother God flowing through them as they elect their governments and vote on all issues before them.

 SEAL this activity of Light in the Cosmic Threefold Flame anchored within the hearts of all Humanity. Expand this Light daily and hourly a thousand times a thousandfold.

 VICTORY IS OURS IN LOVE GOVERNING THIS PLANET! (3X)

 And so it is, Beloved I AM.

 THE GOLDEN FLAME OF ILLUMINATION

 Through the Supreme Eternal Mercy and Compassion of the Cosmic I AM—All That Is—I accept the Divine Fiat, that the Golden Flame of Illumination, Wisdom, Understanding, Enlightenment and Truth shall now rule, guide and protect all Humanity.

 God’s Will for the United States of America and all of the countries of the world SHALL MANIFEST, and every country’s Divine Plan will be fulfilled.

 Every nation will reflect the Will of God and the Reverence for ALL Life. Divine Government will be the order of the day on the New Earth.

 I so decree it and accept it done. Beloved I AM.

 THE DECREE FOR THE EARTH AND HER NATIONS

 In the Full Power and Authority of the Beloved Presence of God, I AM, we, the Children of Earth, humbly come to the Heart of our Father-Mother God to invoke into the physical plane of Earth the most intensified activity of God’s Will ever manifested in the history of time.

 We invoke the Legions of Light serving this blessed Earth to absorb this Divine Essence into every fiber of their Beings and project it into the Heart Flame and conscious mind of every person associated with the governments of this planet in any way, shape or form.

 Blaze the Cosmic Flame of God’s Will through each of these souls and clear away any destructive activity of their own free will which might rush in to try and impede their conscious desire to do God’s Will.

 Help them to become and remain obedient to the Law of Harmony and to BE God in action at ALL times.

 Seal all governmental positions, individually and collectively, in the radiance of God’s Will.

 Reveal through Illumination’s Flame, the Divine Purpose and plan for each office and each individual, and give to each person the spiritual courage and desire to fulfill that plan perfectly.

 Let the Will of God be manifest in, through and around all the governments of the world—NOW and FOREVER!

 Let the LIGHT OF GOD THAT IS ETERNALLY VICTORIOUS illumine and lead ALL Humanity everywhere! We consciously accept this manifesting NOW...even as we call.   

 And so it is, Beloved I AM.

 BENEDICTION

 Beloved Father-Mother God and Beloved Legions of Light throughout Infinity who have come to assist me during this sacred time, as I fulfill my part of this glorious Divine Plan, I love you, and I AM eternally grateful for your Presence in the Universe.

 Blessed Flames, the Divine Substance of the Cosmic I AM—All That Is—I thank you for your obedient service to the Children of Earth.

 Clothed in the gratitude from my heart, expand now within every Heart Flame. Perpetually lift every soul into the embrace of his or her I AM Presence, and permanently unite every one within the Divine Heart and Mind of God.

 Allow every person to BE the physical manifestation of Divine Government here and now, as we expand the borders of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

 I realize the Oneness of ALL Life, and in deep humility I bow before the Light of the Cosmos, as I serve as a pulsation of Light in the Body of the Supreme Source I AM.            

 And so it is,
 Beloved I AM.

So much going on around us. It all feels so much bigger than our stuff. I feel myself wanting the best possible for everyone around me. Blessing myself, blessing them. Holding us all in the light and seeing, feeling a much brighter future.

I watched this dvd by Harry Palmer a few months ago. He is the creator of the Avatar materials and such a lovely, low-key, fun and brilliant spirit. All rolled into one! I jotted down a few things that resonated for me at this time in my life. If you feel inspired to view the dvd in its entirety, the link for it is at the end. For now, it is also on my profile page.  All of the quotes are from Harry...

"We need to brighten up the future a little."

"The world at its worst needs us at our best and we can do something about the future."

He talks about creating an improbably future - setting a goal, "getting out in front of the gathering storm."

"If the directions of world events frightens you, just stop for a minutes and decide, "Where would you rather go?"

"The next minute is the first minute of the rest of the future. Time is always pulling you forward, so it's either pulling you towards something you want, or towards something you don't want."

"We are downstream from the past, but we are upstream from the future."

"We can change the direction of the future."

He shares his perspective about world peace and creating an enlightened planetary civilization®. He talks about how to work backwards from the desired goal. For a goal of world peace, nations would have to renounce violence. For nations to renounce violence, minds would have to change.

"The future is not hopeless, it's just badly organised."

"The future is in our hands."

The dvd "It's Getting Better" was recorded live at the November 2007 International Avatar Course. It is about 30 minutes in length and well worth the watch, in my humble opinion. Harry Palmer talks about how our attitude toward the future creates our experience in the future. If we want life to improve, there's value in believing - it's getting better.

Enjoy a blessed week!

Love,

THE NEED OF THE HOUR
 by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

http://eraofpeace.org

 Lightworkers around the world have made the heart commitment to assist with the necessary purging that is taking place in the global economy. This is a natural part of the cleansing that must occur in order for the archetypes of God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace to tangibly manifest in the lives of awakening Humanity.

 In order for the patterns of perfection for the New Earth to physically manifest, the overwhelming corruption, greed, fraud, selfishness, ignorance and abuse of power, which has been the order of the day for far too long in our global economic system, must be exposed and eliminated. This is exactly what we are witnessing at this time. Any attempt to reestablish these negative behavior patterns at the expense of the masses of Humanity will fail. These destructive patterns cannot be sustained in the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the New Earth.

 As the archetypes for God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace filter into the physical, etheric, mental and emotional strata of Earth, everything that conflicts with these patterns of perfection is being pushed to the surface to be healed and transmuted back into Light. Things seem very difficult at this time. That is due to the fact that as we watch the news and read our newspapers we easily see the horrific patterns of greed, fraud, corruption and the inequitable distribution of wealth that are being exposed. What we do not see as easily, is the incredible Light that is pushing these obsolete patterns of separation, fear and the abuse of power to the surface.

 It is not the Divine Intent of our Father-Mother God for this imperative cleansing of the global economic system to take awakening Humanity down the tubes financially. Quite the contrary. The Divine Intent is for these old behavior patterns, which have caused so much pain and suffering throughout the world, to be quickly exposed and eliminated. Then the patterns of God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace will be easily established as the order of the day on the New Earth.

 The most important thing Lightworkers can do to accelerate this process of healing is to focus our attention on the new patterns of Abundance and Peace. The Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth have given us wonderful invocations, visualizations and decrees to assist us in doing just that. These gifts from On High are designed to help us keep the focus of our thoughts, words, feelings and actions on the Truth of what is occurring instead of on the fear-based patterns of our broken global economy.

 Please join in consciousness with Lightworkers all over the world as you empower the patterns of perfection for our global economy and for the New Earth. Go within to the deepest recesses of your heart, and join in one-pointed consciousness as you invoke the full Divine Potential of God’s Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace.

 These invocations are stated in the first person so that we will experience them tangibly in our individual lives, and simultaneously, we will invoke this Light for all Humanity as we serve as surrogates on behalf of every man, woman and child on Earth.

 THE GOLDEN  FLAME OF ABUNDANCE

 Through the Power of God blazing in my heart and the hearts of ALL Humanity, I joyously receive and accept the gift of God’s Golden Flame of Eternal Peace and Infinite Abundance.

 On the wings of this Divine Light, I Ascend into the Causal Body of God.

 From this realm of Divine Consciousness, I have the clear inner knowing that
 GOD IS MY SUPPLY!

 I relinquish now, in the name of God, I AM, all of the power I have ever given to lack and limitation through my thoughts, words, actions and feelings in any time frame or dimension, both known or unknown.

 I relinquish now, in the name of God, I AM, all of the beliefs I have ever had that were based in poverty consciousness.

 From this moment forward, I consecrate and dedicate my very life to be the Open Door through which the new, frequencies of the Golden Flame of Eternal Peace and Infinite Abundance will now flow to bless me, my family, friends, coworkers and ALL Humanity.

 As I breathe, think, speak, feel and act, the Presence of God within me is perpetually expanding the Golden Light of Eternal Peace and Infinite Abundance to all Life evolving on Earth. And so it is.

 Through all levels of Divine Consciousness I now decree:

 I AM!  I AM!  I AM!
 The eternally sustained manifestation of God’s infinite supply of money and every good thing I require to assist me in my service to the Light, NOW made manifest and sustained by Holy Grace.

 I AM!  I AM!  I AM!
 The eternally sustained manifestation of God’s infinite supply of money and every good thing I require to assist me in my service to the Light, NOW made manifest and sustained by Holy Grace.

 I AM!  I AM!  I AM!
 The eternally sustained manifestation of God’s infinite supply of money and every good thing I require to assist me in my service to the Light, NOW made manifest and sustained by Holy Grace.

 In deep love and appreciation for my glorious gift of Life, I consecrate my Heart and Soul
 to be the Open Door for the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God until the New Earth is manifest, and all Life evolving here is wholly Ascended and FREE.

 It is done!  And so it is!  Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM.

Avatar is a set of tools that allows people, in a very short time, to identify and change the conclusions, decisions, and agreements that are shaping their lives. You could call it a mental editing technique, a belief management technique, or a spiritual empowerment technique. You could call it a lot of things, but the most important thing is that the tools work for you, and they work extremely well. People are amazed..

Avatar Redux
by Harry Palmer

Avatar students systematically change their attitudes, remove self-imposed limitations, and end old hostilities that may be souring their experience of life. They set new goals or revive old ones, and using their rediscovered powers, create opportunities, motivation, and the courage to pursue dreams. In some cases, they restructure their own consciousness; in other cases they literally reshape physical reality. Yes, it is powerful stuff.

You could just stop reading now and do Avatar, you wouldn't be sorry. But there is more to the story than personal development. There is something subtler that happens to you when you use the Avatar tools - a transformation takes place. For some, it happens in a matter of days; for others it takes considerably longer, even years.

The transformation takes one of two routes. The first route could be described as satiation. Satiation means to fully satisfy a desire.

When you are deliberately able to have, experience, or create the object of your desire, the result is not obsession or addiction; the result is satiation. That is a concept that is fully understood only after you become successful. How many chocolate-covered cherries can you eat? How long can you feel the best you've ever felt? How much money is enough? How much success is enough? (The joke answer is "a little more," but there really is a point of satiation.) When your personal desires are satiated you look for other ways in which to express your competence.

The second route of transformation begins when you become so skilled at self-examination that you begin to discover, deep within your mind, the conclusions, decisions, and agreements that are creating your desires. The enlightened insight is that with Avatar you can create or discreate anything you desire, including the desire.

This is the point where you begin to explore consciousness at a level beyond self-centered thinking. The self that you were being turns out to be a mental construct of conclusions, decisions, and agreements. A new self beyond mind awakens, right here, right now. You are now able to observe human consciousness from an exterior perspective. New possibilities appear. Values change. Awe and appreciation replace selfish desires. Compassion replaces antagonism. Cooperation replaces competition. Learning and social evolving replace intolerance.

Ultimately you ask yourself the questions that every being in the process of spiritual awakening asks, "What am I doing here? What is this really about? Why am I participating in this creation of life?"

And as an Avatar you know the answer - know it as a faint intuitive impulse that does not arise from forgotten mental indoctrination or identity ego-hunger. You are the answer, and are sustained by the realization that you have something to contribute to the creation of an enlightened planetary civilization®; that is what you have always been about.

The Story of The Avatar Course

How is it that you were able to succeed in the self-development field when so many of your colleagues failed?

You are right that I came out of a post-Vietnam era that was rife with well meaning, but totally bizarre, spiritual practices. Many people submitted themselves to spiritual teachers who exhibited outrageous attention-seeking behaviors. In some circles, exhibitionist behavior, including promiscuity, was a sign of enlightenment, but getting beyond your sexual hang-ups really didn't lead anywhere.

Some chemical paths were toxically self-destructive; cults were disruptive of families; empowerment therapies were financial enterprises in disguise. Eastern religions were a thorough indoctrination into generations-old belief systems, very ego gratifying in terms of agreement and group status, but personally disempowering. Most of these spiritual paths were dead ends. Hope and pretense were substituted for real experience; in the end was disappointment and betrayal. I was there.

The search for higher consciousness began to be included in the same categories as UFO abductions, global conspiracies, and spirit mediums. Skepticism ruled the day. The popularity rating for spiritual seekers plummeted; the sale of business suits soared. The final insult was a suggestion that spiritual enlightenment might actually be a psychological condition caused by hormonal imbalance.

That pretty much describes the self-development scene that I lived through. There were a few spiritual overtones in the human potential movement, but mainstream facilitators tried to minimize them with hip jargon or psychological terminology. The ideas of achievement and success were more in vogue than spiritual awakening. Yoga meditation centers hosted sales seminars to pay the rent.

Even so, a few people were still on the trail of a spiritual awakening technology, still looking for the keys to that intoxicating experience of awareness without limits; that aw
